Ted watched his Dad put the golf clubs in the back of his pick up truck. Ted watched to see that the old truck turned west toward the country club. Once out of sight Ted walked slowly across the alley and up the steps to the kitchen door. Through the screen he saw his mother sipping a cup of coffee while standing at the sink. She had a full view of the back yard Ted knew his mother had seen him coming. He entered and stood just inside the back door.
Ted said "Morning Mom. I see Dad's gone to play golf." Pause. "Mom can we talk?'
Molly stood frozen looking at her son. Molly wanted to speak but she was at a loss for words and so she just stood there looking at Ted. Molly tightened up seemingly to freeze as Ted came to her and put his arm around her shoulders. Taking the cup of coffee from her fingers he set it on the sink.
Molly did not resist as together they moved down the hall towards Ted old room. Ed had started to move a desk and a couple of chairs in Ted's old bedroom. Ted's old bed was pushed to one side and was made up. Ted sat his mother on the bed and then together they lay down side by side.
Ted was on the out side resting on his back Molly on her side with Ted's arm still around her shoulders. Molly was stiff as a board arms crossed on her chest, her head touching Ted's shoulder and her legs were together and not touching Ted.
Ted did not speak but held his mother to him. Time passed with out a word being said. Ted closed his eye and after some minutes Ted fell asleep. After an eternity Molly relaxed and closed her eyes. How long they had rested in one another's arms neither was sure. Ted woke, sat up and helped his mother to her feet. He kissed her on the cheek and left the house. Molly felt less fearful than she had in days. Molly returned to the kitchen and started to clean up from breakfast. She had things to think about and some how this brief interlude has some how set things nearer to right than they had been. Molly was smiling to herself.
It all happened so fast. One day Quincy was talking to his father comparing notes about the women each had known. Father and son had crossed paths on two occasions but not at the same time. Each had known Mrs. Verling. Doctor Verling's widow and Mrs. Black; Dear Eleanor the sweetest chubby widow in town. Quincy had learned of Ely's charms a few months earlier and was very happy with this arrangement. It was Eleanor Black that introduced Quincy to the sweetest threesome of his life. Two old ladies and one young stud that took care of both ladies to everyone's satisfaction.
Quincy often talked to his Dad about his sweet encounters.
Quincy's father smiled and said in his youth he had also scored a home run with both those ladies well before they had married. Young Quincy told his Dad they were both still very desirable and in sex over load. His Dad said that one day soon maybe the two Dexter men should pay a call on these two dear widows and give them the time of their lives.
However that plan was short lived because Mr. Dexter fell ill on the next Sunday and dies on Thursday. The small town paper carried the story of Mr. Dexter's sudden death and the plans for the funeral.
Ted called his Dad and asked if he had seen the obituary on Mr. Dexter. Ed said he had and in return asked Ted if he was friends with young Quincy. Ted said he was and that he and Sara would be attending the funeral. Ed said he and Molly would also be there and would most likely do a visitation the night before at around eight o'clock. Ted said he and Sara would pick up his parents at seven thirty on Sunday night and all four could go in one car.
In the back of Ted's mind he thought this would be a good time to see if his mother was still very stiff and uneasy when she was around him. Ted had talked to Sara and told her about the close encounter and both agreed it had been a good move. But as to Molly's willingness to venture into the family incest affair further was yet to be seen.
Ed just sat down next to Molly from viewing his old friend Thad Dexter. When Molly jerked on his sleeve. Molly said "There are a couple of faces I have not seen in many a year."
Molly was pointing at Mrs. Verling and Mrs. Black walking in together holding each other by the arm as they made their way down the center isle. The two women paused at the first row of chairs where young Quincy was seated. Quincy stood as the two women can up. First Quincy hugged Eleanor Black and lifting her veil they kissed lightly on the lips. Then Young Quincy hugged Mrs. Verling and also kissed her lightly on the lips. After both women viewed Mrs. Dexter they sat down on either side of Quincy and each held a hand.
Ed said "What do you make of that?"
Ted leaned across in front of his mother and said "I do think there is something going on there we're not privy too. Marlene told me that those two women had, shell we say a well documented youth. You don't suppose they have taken up with Quincy in that department do you?"
Sara said "I've heard that Quincy is hung like a horse and he's happy to use it on older ladies. I'll bet." Sara stopped talking as the threesome turned to look back over the mourners.
